In the early morning of the second day, the first thing Yu Zhao did when he got up was to go to the side hall, although Chu Ziyi woke up, he was not as energetic as before. It took two or three shouts before he opened his eyes and looked at her. The palace people who were waiting comforted them and said that the children who were sick were like this, and they would be fine in a few days. Yu Zhao was uneasy and did not dare to relax his vigilance.

Sure enough, a few days later, a high fever broke out, and many erythema erupted on the body, which made people's scalp tingle.

Still couldn't find a result, the imperial doctors were scolded by Emperor Yuan, kneeling at the door of Chaohui Palace trembling, Yu Zhao didn't leave Chu Ziyi's side one step, looking at his uncomfortable appearance and feeling distressed and powerless. Emperor Yuan ordered a thorough search of the palace and called all the concubines in the palace to sit in the Chaohui Palace.

After getting the news, Chu Zikai also rushed over in a panic, and everyone wanted to go to the side hall to see together, but he stopped them. "At this moment, I don't know what the disease is, and I don't know if it will be contagious, my father and all the mothers will stay first, and the sons will go and take a look, and come and tell me."

When he heard that it might be contagious, all the concubines stopped hesitating, and Emperor Yuan saw this and said yes.

Chu Zikai hurriedly walked into the side hall, and saw that Yu Zhao's hand that helped Chu Ziyi gently wipe it was a little trembling, and he squatted down in front of the bed. "It won't be your fault, don't be too yourself."

Hearing this, Yu Zhao asked, "Is there any news from the palace?"

"No," he replied, not knowing what to say, so he just silently accompanied him. I suddenly heard Zhuo Yao come in to report. "Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty told you to go out immediately. Tao Yao, the palace maid who sprinkled and swept in the palace, pointed out that there was a problem with the rice paper made by the mother. ”

The two glanced at each other, and probably understood the reason, it turned out that someone was framed for hurting Chu Ziyi. Instantly angry into the sky, Yu Zhao instructed Hao Zhuo Yao to take care of Chu Ziyi personally, and walked towards the main hall with his sleeves thrown up. Chu Zikai thought for a moment, didn't follow, and turned to the East Palace.

When I entered the hall, I saw a palace maid kneeling in the hall with a somewhat familiar face, and when she saw Yu Zhao, she shrank back as if she was very scared.

"What poison?" Yu Zhao walked quickly in front of him, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth, not only was the palace maid stupid, but everyone was speechless in shock.

"Sister Concubine Chen, this hasn't been asked yet, how do you know it's poison?" Yun Zhaorong's voice sounded, as if he was very angry and sad, and lowered his head to wipe away his tears. "I'm afraid that if I don't admit myself, the fifth highness of the poor queen's cousin who was desperately born has such a vicious adoptive mother."

Yu Zhao glanced at her, turned his head and continued to ask Tao Yao. "What poison?"

"Slave maid...... The slave and maid don't know" Tao Yao bowed her head, her voice trembled and continued: "The slave and maid only knew that the porcelain bottle of the poison was in a foreign language, and she didn't dare to make a noise, so she went to ask Zhaorong Niangniang to be the master."

"Where's the porcelain vase?" Yu Zhao looked at Yun Zhaorong and noticed a trace of panic in her eyes, and continued in a firm tone: "This palace knows that you have, that's why you came to make trouble."

Yun Zhaorong said calmly: "This palace naturally has evidence." Saying that he wanted to present the bottle, he was snatched by Yu Zhao, Yun Zhaorong panicked and wanted to take it back: "What are you doing, do you want to destroy the evidence."

"Let the Imperial Doctor in!" Listening to Yu Zhao's orders, the imperial doctor outside didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly came in. Yu Zhao handed over the porcelain vase. "Look."

"Sister Chen, is this atonement?" Concubine Liu covered her mouth with her hands on the side, looking like she was watching a joke.

Taking advantage of the time for the imperial doctor to check, Yu Zhao pointed to Tao Yao again: "Since you are the person who testifies in Chaohui Palace, let's talk about the cause and effect of the matter."

The direction of the plan of things is indeed these steps, how can it become that the person who is about to be framed will guide it. Tao Yao glanced at Yun Zhaorong with some weakness and saw that she was steady. Try to calm down and speak. "The day before Niangniang's birthday, the old lady came, and the slave overheard the conversation between Niangniang and the old lady, saying that in order to firmly control the Fifth Highness in her hands. Therefore, it is necessary to exclude dissidents and discuss the planting of Zhaorong Niangniang, who is most likely to raise the Fifth Highness. ”

These words were so stupid that Yu Zhao couldn't bear to shake his head when he heard it, and looked at Emperor Yuan who was sitting above, he probably understood the situation, and his eyes were not good at staring at Yun Zhaorong.

Tao Yao wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Yu Zhao. So Bengong mixed the poison into it when making paper, so that Ziyi would become ill. and put the poison in Yun Zhaorong's palace, fortunately, you saw it, informed Yun Zhaorong, and asked Yun Zhaorong to collect some human and physical evidence so that he could expose it. Is it? ”

Tao Yao was so nervous that her whole body trembled, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Yun Zhaorong, and she didn't dare to speak again.

Seeing that she didn't have the slightest panic as she imagined, and told all her plans, Yun Zhaorong was flustered in her heart, and said forcefully: "Concubine Chen said it so smoothly, I think she planned countless times in her heart." I wanted to pull someone with me, so I looked at Shen Concubine. "Sister Shen Concubine was also framed like this last time."

"Although this palace was wronged, it was not her." Concubine Shen's face was indifferent, and she decisively denied it, not even looking at her. Seeing this, Yun Zhaorong's panic couldn't be hidden.

The imperial doctor stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, this poison is unique to the Western Fan Kingdom, and Da Chu is very rare. It is true that it can be attached to the paper for a long time, but if it is only like this, it will never be as ferocious as the Fifth Highness. ”

"The concubine still has a witness." Yun Zhaorong knelt down and said eagerly to Emperor Yuan: "That ...... the Scholar's Bureau"

"Shut up!" Yu Zhao interrupted her and continued to ask the imperial doctor. "Can it be cured?"

The imperial doctors looked at each other, looking embarrassed and hesitant, and Emperor Yuan urged: "If there is anything, just say it, delay is a capital crime."

Hearing this, everyone knelt down and said: "This time, His Royal Highness is seriously poisoned, if you want to detoxify and reduce fever in time." You must use the medicine of the tiger and wolf to detoxify, but the process of using this method is painful, and it will damage the juveniles of the five highnesses. ”

"There is no other way?"

"Back to Niangniang, the fever is the first priority right now, and there is no other way."

Emperor Yuan sighed and spoke in a heavy tone. "In that case, let's take medicine." Yu Zhao was distressed and anxious, his fists were clenched, and he looked at Yun Zhaorong with anger: "Take out all your physical evidence!"

I don't know what the situation is now, Yun Zhaorong didn't dare to act rashly, and only said to Emperor Yuan. "Concubine Chen is so aggressive, I'm afraid it's caused by a weak heart, and I ask Your Majesty to investigate."

"Who else answered Concubine Chen's words?" Emperor Yuan knew that since he succeeded Chu Ziyi to Yu Zhao, Yu Cheng and Qi Xing failed to form an alliance, so they became opponents. If you want to find someone in the harem, only Yun Zhaorong, who has a cousin relationship with the former queen, is the best candidate.

Not daring not to answer, Yun Zhaorong calmed down and spoke slowly. In addition to Tao Yao, there is also the palace maid Qiu Rong who pounded the pulp of the Scholar's Bureau, and she saw with her own eyes that Concubine Chen added this poison to the pulp. Then there is Ah Qi, the servant who transports swill, who is the medicine he helps Concubine Chen transport. ”

Yu Zhao nodded when he heard this, turned his head to Feng An and ordered, "I'm tired of serving Feng, go and bring it over."

"You don't have to bring it here, just drag it down and fight until you tell the truth." Emperor Yuan stopped Feng An and ordered, walked in front of Yun Zhaorong and looked at her coldly: "If you recruit from the truth, I will spare your life."

I don't know why Emperor Yuan broke the case, Yun Zhaorong sat on the ground in fear, looked up at him, took his hand and cried: "Your Majesty, why? Concubine Chen's sister is favored by you, but the concubine has also served you for many years, why did His Majesty suspect the concubine before he investigated. ”

"Still quibbling!" Emperor Yuan waved his sleeves and threw her to the ground, and Concubine Liu on the side hurriedly made a gesture to help. "Your Majesty, this matter really shouldn't be ended in such a hurry, after all, someone came out to testify, if Concubine Chen doesn't make it clear, she will be suspicious in the future, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the harem."

Emperor Yuan turned a deaf ear and looked at Yu Zhao. "Ziyi is your child now, and everyone else will be at your disposal."

"Understood." After Yu Zhao answered, he went to Tao Yao first, raised her chin and looked at her. "Since you are unfaithful, I think you also know the consequences of the exposure of the matter, this palace will give you and your family a glass of poisoned wine, and leave a whole corpse, thank you."

Tao Yao's face turned pale instantly, kowtowed again and again, and cried bitterly to plead guilty. "Concubine Chen's mother forgives her sins, the slave maid was forced by Yun Zhaorong, the slave maid deserves death, but the slave maid's family is innocent, and I ask the maid to forgive them."

"See?" Yu Zhao walked over and looked down at Yun Zhaorong who was kneeling on the ground. "Anyone will grasp the weakness, just because of this, you want to control people to harm people, you are in your thirties, how can you still be so stupid?"

"You threatened her with not daring to tell the truth." Yun Zhaorong pointed his finger at Yu Zhao and shouted to Emperor Yuan: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a problem with the paper made by her hands, although she destroyed the evidence, but the concubine is fortunate to keep one." As he spoke, he took out the paper wrapped in cloth in his arms and showed it to Emperor Yuan, but Emperor Yuan threw it away. "I'm not stupid, if you want to frame me, you must take the opportunity to arrange for someone to do something on the paper in Concubine Chen's palace."

At this time, Chu Zikai hurried over, also holding a small pile of rice paper in his hand. "Yun Niangniang only has one in her hand, I'm afraid it's not enough to prove anything." As he spoke, he handed it to Emperor Yuan. "The same batch of paper, the minister begged for it that day, Ling Baiyao has seen it, it's fine."

"Where did Ling Baiyao come from? Please come and show the fifth child. Emperor Yuan's tone was surprised and happy, as if he was relieved, and leaned over to look out.

Chu Zikai replied: "Father, don't worry, on the way back, I was bumped into by my son, and I came all the way, and I have already gone to the side hall." looked at Yun Zhaorong again. "Yun Niangniang, the paper in the king's hand was asked to come in front of everyone that day, no problem at all, why is it poisonous in your hands?"

"It's not a paper problem," Yun Zhaorong didn't answer yet, Tao Yao was anxious, and wanted to be the first to confess in order to ask for forgiveness: "Niangniang and the things of the Fifth Highness, Aunt Zhuo Yao watched it closely, and she didn't have a chance to do it at all." Yun Zhaorong asked the slave maid to put medicine on the kite of the Fifth Highness first, and then when he sent the tribute to the dragon on the other day, the slave and maid pretended to fall, knocked down the pen box, and took the opportunity to put it on the pen. It was the day of the mother's mother's marriage, and the slave secretly climbed in through the window and made the paper into a ......."

"Slut, you slander this palace!" Seeing that everything was revealed, Yun Zhaorong stepped forward to warn Tao Yao, but he didn't want to be dodged and fell to the ground. Tao Yao walked in front of Yu Zhao on his knees and kowtowed a few times. "Niangniang forgives her sins, the slave and the maid are confused, and Yun Zhaorong persecuted the slave and maid's family, so she panicked. Now that all the slaves and maids have been recruited, please don't implicate the slaves' families. ”

Yun Zhaorong immediately knelt on the ground and shouted. "Your Majesty, the concubines were wronged, and their masters and servants framed the concubines together."

"You are not wronged," Chu Zikai took out a letter and pretended to show it to Emperor Yuan: "Father, the spies under Erchen intercepted this."

Yun Zhaorong was so frightened that he couldn't speak in an instant, staring directly at the letter, Emperor Yuan took it and opened it, and looked up after a while. "Yun Mansion, and Qi Mansion?"

completely defeated the little defense in Yun Zhaorong's heart. I heard Emperor Yuan say to everyone from above. "Do you know why I trust Concubine Chen so much? Because since she entered the palace, I told her that the Fifth Highness would succeed her son, and you are confident one by one, but should Zizi take care of you? ”

He slapped the letter on the table again. "I hate the harem the most for colluding with the previous dynasty to make waves, you are all planning, thinking that you are hiding it well, thinking that I am dead, I just choose not to see it and not to be upset."

Extremely angry, he smashed the tea cup on the table in front of Yun Zhaorong. "Do you also know that Ziyi was born desperately by the first queen? Qi Mansion, you, even if you have a little blood relationship with him, how can you do it? Is it worthy of the first queen? ”

That letter is the evidence that the essence cannot be escaped, despair has forced Yun Zhaorong to collapse, and he bowed his head and begged for mercy: "The concubine knows her mistake, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive her sins."
